Cellulose ethanol is not a sustainable alternative for oil. It drives up the food prices and is inefficient to produce.

We should get off oil.

Ethanol may offer some answers but does not look like a complete solution. Not even close.

The Senator does not offer solutions, but platitudes. Ethanol is a joke. It takes a barrel of oil to produce the ethanol to replace a barrel. We cannot tell holders of resources how and what price to sell their resources. That path will only lead us into more conflicts. I get very angry and scared for the future of this country when our supposed leaders propose this nonsense as a solution.

All of this is positive but it does not include one of the more important aspects -- our way of life. We need to look forward to more scarce resources and understand how that could/will change our way of life and how we will adjust.
